I gave you some information regarding the ScanLife app. See my previous post.
It appears that the ScanLife version won’t be out for some time, but i did find another version that is in our installer.
The app is called iMatrix and it works fantastically, better then the ScanLife app.
iMatrix is a project from a Lithuanian developer and it can already read 2D codes encoded as QR code, Datamatrix, ShotCode and Aztec. EZcode and Beetagg are still in the development phase.
The iMatrix app can automatically open web links, add contacts, add calendar event, add new notes and initiative new e-mail or phone calls !
Â

1) Go to the iMatrix and register here.
2) Let’s find this app and play a little with it.

3) Start the app and go to the preferences and add your newly created account.

4) Let’s look at the preferences in this screen.Â

- User account let’s you manage your user account.Â

- Confirmations (disable these if you like the app to automatically open url’s, create contacts, create events, create notes, send mail)

- 2D code types( enable or disable QR, DATAMATRIX, SHOTCODE) Aztec, EZcode and BeeTagg are still in development.

Â

5) Let’s capture something. (I’ve created a test image that will open iPhonefreakz.com in your Mobile safari).

6) you can Create your own tag’s to play with here, be sure to select the QR codes as the datamatrix didn’t always work for me

7) A lot of other examples can be found on the developers website.

Once you have captured some codes, they will be in your ‘my codes’ tab for later retrieval. Fox ex a concert ticket that you captured. It’s no longer needed to keep dragging all those papers with you

9) The export option is magnificent. It allows you to export your contacts and bookmarks. The developer is going to add Notes and Calendar soon.

Â

So that’s a quick view of the app. Do you like it? I know I’m going to use this a lot.

Â
This little app is available in the Installer.app through the STE packaging source, see our sources page.

Enjoy
